Other joggers also heard the mans cry. David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in. “People

23、 had called the police, but it was unclear when theyd get there.” says Green. “We just reacted.” Messina joined them in the river. Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern take hold of him. The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to them. They seized t

24、he man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side. As the men made their toward the concrete seawall that stretched (延伸) for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization: there was no way out of the river.By now, a crowd had gathered on

25、land. “A rescue boat is on its way,” someone yelled to them. Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute. The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers arms. After ten minutes, they managed to get to the rivers edge. “Ive never been so out of breath

26、,” says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the two-man rescue boat appeared. But because it couldnt risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it. “I was completely out of energy at this point,” says Blauzvern. The men in the water pushed the ju

27、mper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety. The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation(评估). Details on his condition have not been known.

31、re family on vacation can add up quickly flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three little words, you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out

32、the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”, dont press the book button on the website just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way

33、 to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”,

34、your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you foun

35、d online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.Just dont wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can

36、lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.120、What does the underlined part “t

37、hree little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AA special discountBThe best dealCThe lowest rateDCheapest nonrefundable rate.1、According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to _.Acall the target hotels to bargain with the staffBcollect and compare the prices found onlineCbook
